Abstract
Bispecific antibodies (bsAbs) represent a critically important class of emerging therapeutics capable of targeting two different antigens simultaneously. As such, bsAbs have been developed as effective treatment agents for diseases that remain challenging for conventional monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapeutics to access. Despite these advantages, bsAbs are intricate molecules, requiring both the appropriate engineering and pairing of heavy and light chains derived from separate parent mAbs. Current analytical tools for tracking the bsAb construction process have demonstrated a limited ability to robustly probe the higher-order structure (HOS) of bsAbs. Native ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS) and collision-induced unfolding (CIU) have proven to be useful tools in probing the HOS of mAb therapeutics. In this report, we describe a series of detailed and quantitative IM-MS and CIU data sets that reveal HOS details associated with a knob-into-hole (KiH) bsAb model system and its corresponding parent mAbs. We find that quantitative analysis of CIU data indicates that global KiH bsAb stability occupies an intermediate space between the stabilities recorded for its parent mAbs. Furthermore, our CIU data identify the hole-containing half of the KiH bsAb construct to be the least stable, thus driving much of the overall stability of the KiH bsAb. An analysis of both intact bsAb and enzymatic fragments allows us to associate the first and second CIU transitions observed for the intact KiH bsAb to the unfolding Fab and Fc domains, respectively. This result is likely general for CIU data collected for low charge state mAb ions and is supported by data acquired for deglycosylated KiH bsAb and mAb constructs, each of which indicates greater destabilization of the second CIU transition observed in our data. When integrated, our CIU analysis allows us to link changes in the first CIU transition primarily to the Fab region of the hole-containing halfmer, while the second CIU transition is likely strongly connected to the Fc region of the knob-containing halfmer. Taken together, our results provide an unprecedented road map for evaluating the domain-level stabilities and HOS of both KiH bsAb and mAb constructs using CIU.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) currently represent the main class of therapeutic proteins. mAbs approved by regulatory agencies are selected from IgG1, IgG2, and IgG4 subclasses, which possess different interchain disulfide connectivities. Ion mobility coupled to native mass spectrometry (IM-MS) has emerged as a valuable approach to tackle the challenging characterization of mAbs' higher order structures. However, due to the limited resolution of first-generation IM-MS instruments, subtle conformational differences on large proteins have long been hard to capture. Recent technological developments have aimed at increasing available IM resolving powers and acquisition mode capabilities, namely, through the release of high-resolution IM-MS (HR-IM-MS) instruments, like cyclic IM-MS (cIM-MS). Here, we outline the advantages and drawbacks of cIM-MS for better conformational characterization of intact mAbs (∼150 kDa) in native conditions compared to first-generation instruments. We first assessed the extent to which multipass cIM-MS experiments could improve the separation of mAbs' conformers. These initial results evidenced some limitations of HR-IM-MS for large native biomolecules which possess rich conformational landscapes that remain challenging to decipher even with higher IM resolving powers. Conversely, for collision-induced unfolding (CIU) approaches, higher resolution proved to be particularly useful (i) to reveal new unfolding states and (ii) to enhance the separation of coexisting activated states, thus allowing one to apprehend gas-phase CIU behaviors of mAbs directly at the intact level. Altogether, this study offers a first panoramic overview of the capabilities of cIM-MS for therapeutic mAbs, paving the way for more widespread HR-IM-MS/CIU characterization of mAb-derived formats.

Abstract
Structural analysis by native ion mobility-mass spectrometry provides a direct means to characterize protein interactions, stability, and other biophysical properties of disease-associated biomolecules. Such information is often extracted from collision-induced unfolding (CIU) experiments, performed by ramping a voltage used to accelerate ions entering a trap cell prior to an ion mobility separator. Traditionally, to simplify data analysis and achieve confident ion identification, precursor ion selection with a quadrupole is performed prior to collisional activation. Only one charge state can be selected at one time, leading to an imbalance between the total time required to survey CIU data across all protein charge states and the resulting structural analysis efficiency. Furthermore, the arbitrary selection of a single charge state can inherently bias CIU analyses. We herein aim to compare two conformation sampling methods for protein gas-phase unfolding: (1) traditional quadrupole selection-based CIU and (2) nontargeted, charge selection-free and shotgun workflow, all ion unfolding (AIU). Additionally, we provide a new data interpretation method that integrates across all charge states to project collisional cross section (CCS) data acquired over a range of activation voltages to produce a single unfolding fingerprint, regardless of charge state distributions. We find that AIU in combination with CCS accumulation across all charges offers an opportunity to maximize protein conformational information with minimal time cost, where additional benefits include (1) an improved signal-to-noise ratios for unfolding fingerprints and (2) a higher tolerance to charge state shifts induced by either operating parameters or other factors that affect protein ionization efficiency.

Abstract
Ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS) and collision-induced unfolding (CIU) assays of monoclonal antibody (mAb)-based biotherapeutics have proven sensitive to disulfide bridge structures, glycosylation patterns, and small molecule conjugation levels. Despite promising prior reports detailing the capabilities of IM-MS and CIU to differentiate biosimilars, generic mAb therapeutics, there remain questions surrounding the sensitivity of CIU to mAb structure changes that occur upon stress, the reproducibility of such measurements across IM-MS platforms, and the correlation between CIU and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) datasets. In this report, we describe a comprehensive IM-MS and CIU dataset acquired for three Infliximabs: Remicade, Inflectra, and Renflexis. We subject each infliximab sample to forced degradation through heat stress and observe broadly similar yet subtly different stability patterns for these three biotherapeutics. We find that CIU is capable of tracking differences in mAb higher-order structure (HOS) imparted during forced heat stress degradation and that DSC is less sensitive to these alterations in comparison. Furthermore, we collected our comprehensive IM-MS and CIU data across two instrument platforms (Waters G2 and Agilent 6560), with both producing similar abilities to differentiate mAbs while also revealing minor differences between the results obtained on the two instruments. Finally, we demonstrate that CIU-based heatmaps and classification allow for rapid assessment of the most differentiating charge states for the analysis of infliximab, and using multiplexed classification, we conservatively estimate a 30-fold improvement in the time required to perform mAb stability and HOS measurements over standard DSC tools.

Abstract
Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies are an important class of biotherapeutics that target various diseases, such as cancers, neurodegenerative disorders, and autoimmune diseases, yet rapid discrimination of IgG antibodies remains a great challenge due to heterogeneity, flexibility, and large size. Herein, we demonstrate a simplified multicharge-state collision-induced unfolding (CIU) method for rapid differentiation of four IgG isotypes that differ in terms of the numbers and patterns of disulfide bonds, bypassing tedious single charge-state selection in advance. The results presented herein reveal that gas-phase unfolding behaviors have a strong dependence on charge states outside IgG surfaces; therefore, multicharge-state CIU analysis of IgG subtypes could offer a great opportunity to gain deeper insights into their gas-phase structural differentiation. The full discrimination of IgG antibody isoforms that possess different disulfide bond numbers and even subtle disulfide bonding patterns can be achieved based on their charge-dependent gas-phase unfolding behaviors and root-mean square deviation in CIU difference spectra. Taken together, the incorporation of all charge states observed in a native ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS) experiment to CIU analysis could make this strategy sensitive to more subtle structural discrepancies, facilitating the rapid discrimination and evaluation of innovative structurally similar biotherapeutic candidates with unexplored functions.

Abstract
Small molecule drug discovery has been propelled by the continual development of novel scientific methodologies to occasion therapeutic advances. Although established biophysical methods can be used to obtain information regarding the molecular mechanisms underlying drug action, these approaches are often inefficient, low throughput, and ineffective in the analysis of heterogeneous systems including dynamic oligomeric assemblies and proteins that have undergone extensive post-translational modification. Native mass spectrometry can be used to probe protein-small molecule interactions with unprecedented speed and sensitivity, providing unique insights into polydisperse biomolecular systems that are commonly encountered during the drug discovery process. In this review, we describe potential and proven applications of native MS in the study of interactions between small, drug-like molecules and proteins, including large multiprotein complexes and membrane proteins. Approaches to quantify the thermodynamic and kinetic properties of ligand binding are discussed, alongside a summary of gas-phase ion activation techniques that have been used to interrogate the structure of protein-small molecule complexes. We additionally highlight some of the key areas in modern drug design for which native mass spectrometry has elicited significant advances. Future developments and applications of native mass spectrometry in drug discovery workflows are identified, including potential pathways toward studying protein-small molecule interactions on a whole-proteome scale.

Abstract
Detailed characterization of protein reagents and biopharmaceuticals is key in defining successful drug discovery campaigns, aimed at bringing molecules through different discovery stages up to development and commercialization. There are many challenges in this process, with complex and detailed analyses playing paramount roles in modern industry. Mass spectrometry (MS) has become an essential tool for characterization of proteins ever since the onset of soft ionization techniques and has taken the lead in quality assessment of biopharmaceutical molecules, and protein reagents, used in the drug discovery pipeline. MS use spans from identification of correct sequences, to intact molecule analyses, protein complexes and more recently epitope and paratope identification. MS toolkits could be incredibly diverse and with ever evolving instrumentation, increasingly novel MS-based techniques are becoming indispensable tools in the biopharmaceutical industry. Here we discuss application of Ion Mobility MS (IMMS) in an industrial setting, and what the current applications and outlook are for making IMMS more mainstream.

Abstract
The KCNQ1 voltage-gated potassium channel regulates the repolarization of cardiac cells, and a plurality of point mutations in its voltage-sensing domain (VSD) are associated with toxic gain or loss of pore function, resulting in disease. As is the case with many disease-associated membrane proteins, there are hundreds of human variants of interest identified for KCNQ1; however, a significant portion of these variants have not been characterized in relation to their functional and disease associations. Additionally, as the VSD consists of four transmembrane helices, studies into dynamic structural differences among KCNQ1 VSD variants are hindered by the current limitations and deficits in the high-resolution structure determination of membrane proteins. Here, we use native ion mobility-mass spectrometry and collision-induced unfolding (CIU) to address the need for a high throughput-compatible method for the structural characterization of membrane protein variants of unknown significance using the KCNQ1 VSD as a model system. We perform CIU on wild-type and three mutant KCNQ1 VSD forms associated with the toxic gain or loss of function and show through both automated feature detection and comprehensive difference analysis of the CIU data sets that the variants are clearly grouped by function and disease association. We also construct a classification scheme based on the CIU data sets, which is able to differentiate the variant functional groups and classify a recently characterized variant to its correct grouping. Further, we probe the stability of the KCNQ1 VSD variants when liberated from C12E8 micelles at pH 8.0 and find preliminary evidence that the R231C mutation associated with the gain of the pore function is destabilized relative to the wild-type and loss of function variants.

Abstract
Collision induced unfolding (CIU) is increasingly used to characterize protein complexes in the gas phase and is often employed to detect ligand binding-induced conformational stabilization. However, the extent to which gas-phase conformational stabilities measured by CIU reflect analogous parameters in solution is not yet clear, particularly for systems where conformational and protein complex stability are modulated by point mutation. Here, we compare CIU-derived relative stabilities of four point mutants of the homotetramer pyruvate kinase to solution stabilities measured by differential scanning fluorimetry (DSF) and solution conformational dynamics measured by time-resolved electrospray ionization hydrogen-deuterium exchange (TRESI-HDX). Our results demonstrate that both destabilization of the tetrameric state and generally reduced conformational stability of the monomer in solution are well correlated to lower onset energies for specific unfolding transitions observed in CIU. However, this correlation not fully retained when comparing CIU to HDX data, where the latter measurement is strongly impacted by conformational dynamics within the tetramer.
